Love, sweet love. What better way to celebrate it than with an indulgent meal guaranteed to steal the heart of your beloved? Chef Yoel Cruz is a romantic little devil, and as a result, has come up with some V-Day specials at North Square to help you get in the mood.
Starters include lobster bisque with cayenne croutons and a tarragon crème fraîche ($13). Or shrimp and basil risotto with sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini and shiitake mushrooms ($20). And what's more romantic than marinated quail with roasted delicata squash and Swiss chard, in a pomegranate glaze ($20)?
His main course specials are a real treat: filet mignon au poivre in a mushroom au jus with truffle shoestring potatoes and haricot verts ($42). Or chermoula marinated swordfish in a lemon beurre blanc with sautéed broccolini and a vegetable quinoa cake ($30) And for dessert? An incredible red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, whipped cream and raspberry and chocolate sauces ($14).
No date? No problem! Treat yourself and your bestie to a decadent meal and trash, er, toast the ones that let you get away!
The regular menu will also be available, so if you're jonesing for Yoel's herb-crusted rack of lamb, have no fear! Head here for reservations.
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
